Blockchain Research Center

The Blockchain Research Center (BRC) is a think-tank and research community established by the Universität Zürich (UZH), Switzerland and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HUB), Germany. We aim to study crypto-assets and investigate implications of blockchain technology, to facilitate a better understanding and development of digital economy. The BRC serves as a platform for academia and industry practitioners for scientific discussions and collaborations.

Since early 2015, we invest our capabilities in the most promising Blockchain & FinTech research ideas and cooperations in academics and industry. The BRC was founded by top academic experts around the world, including Universität Zürich, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Charles University Prague, IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, and many more affiliated academic institutions, besides already established industrial partners, such as Nuri GmbH, Royalton Partners S.A., YUKKA Lab AG, Advanced Blockchain AG, Peaq Technology GmbH, Artnet AG, Postera Capital GmbH, Augmento AI GmbH, Eco Energy Blockchain Solutions SA, Hyperion Decentralized Infrastructures SA, to name a few.

We advise and work with our partners on scientific and technical iteration in a pathfinding fashion on not yet researched fields (especially on financial and risk-related questions), in particular, between Asia and Europe. For that purpose, we work with an extensive international network of Blockchain experts for econometric, technical, and regulatory questions.
